Smashing Pumpkins - Drum + Fife Lyrics






Away, away foul dream
You're gonna listen now to me
No rules or in-betweens
You're gonna listen now to me
Waste all your time
Find another kind of boy, whoa
A face upon the line
Offensive I don't care to hold

Come on along on an eastern shore
Come on along, you're mine
Come on along on a winter's morn
Come on along, you're mine
Mine

Inside
The drum and fife is steel
Racing scene to scene
To break this beast in me
'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day

In my affection, too
You're gonna listen now to me
But stop what's left as rule
You're gonna listen now to me

Come on along on an eastern shore
Come on along, you're mine
Come on along on a winter's morn
Come on along, you're mine
Mine

Inside
The drum and fife is steel
Racing scene to scene
To break this beast in me
To remedy this waiting
'Cause I will bang to my dying
I will bang this drum to my dying
I will bang this drum to my dying day
'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day

Don't you ever be afraid
Don't you ever be afraid
Don't you ever be afraid
No more, no more, no more

'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day
Don't you ever be afraid
'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying
I will bang this drum to my dying
I will bang this drum to my dying day
'Cause I will bang this drum

    Sounds like a Noel Gallagher song without the hook~ i dont hate it but it's a little forgettable

  3. R.... ....

    I'm in love with this song <3

  4. r.... g....

    This song is greatness right now, no matter who's playing with Billy.

  5. W.... S....

    In support of the amount of music that the smashing pumpkins have put out in the last 7 years. Hell I'd do it.

  6. V.... ....

    If anything, i say that Billy is just writing too Much music. I feel like he's diluting the spark that we want from him by writing 50-100 songs every outing.
    Billy would be better releasing one potent group of songs every 3-5 years opposed to 300-500 songs over the course of a decade or more. 

  7. K.... P....

    Cutest picture ever!

  8. M.... S....

    Sounds like a follow-up to his Zwan stuff -- which isn't a bad thing in my book.  I liked that stuff a lot. 

  9. m.... ....

    Oh my God! He's a musician not the "I didn't do it" kid! He's not gonna do the same over and over again with his music. I miss the 90's too but it's 2014!

  10. N.... B....

    Billy, you did it again...

  11. T.... G....

    kawaii drummer kid

  12. s.... ....

    It seemed like he understood for a while that we didn't like Zeitgeist, and now it sounds like he's reverted back to that style of music. He had a good thing with Nicole singing backing vocals.

  13. M.... ....

    I have had this song on repeat since is was released. Great track. I love the pumpkins.  Tommy Lee is my favorite drummer, so that just makes me want the album even more knowing that Tommy did all the drum tracks!!! The Release date is Tuesday!! I will definitely be buying this record!!

  14. R.... S....

    Damn...I guess the magic died.

  15. E.... U....

    I fucking love this song.

  16. s.... ....

    This is great! Rock on, Billy!

  17. t.... ....

    "I will bang Miss Drumm til my dying day"?? Who is Miss Drum? And is she even cool with this?? Cause Billy is kind of a creeper. :-)

    t.... ....

    It's "I will bang this drum to my dying day"

    t.... ....

    @SandeProHiQu lol....what the hell kind of lyric would "Miss Drum" be anyway? lol....

  18. T.... ....

    "I will bang this drum to my dying day". An interesting aspect under the circumstance that Billy Corgan is able to make a Smashing Pumpkins-record without help of other musicians -except for the drums yet...
    Not only therefore my favorite track on the "Monuments to an Elegy"-album which is otherwise really well named "Elegy".

  19. M.... ....

    why must people say "SP is different from before!!"? it was 20 years ago. bands change. deal with it

  20. T.... F....

    I'd like to see Billy, circa 1992, get a crack at playing these new songs.  I like the songs, but, they could use some attitude. 

  21. c.... ....

    Me Likey's ! ! !

  22. J.... L....

    With these new songs I find myself not paying attention half way through the song.

    J.... L....

    @RockME AllDeus I'm a dude 

  23. B.... C....

    Is this "Dad Rock" now?

  24. P.... G....

    It's an amazing time to be a SP fan. Who's with me??

    Come on along on an eastern show

    Come on along, oh my

    Come on along on a winter's morn

    Come on along, oh my (my)


    Inside the drum and fife is steel

    Racing scene to scene

    To break this beast in me

    Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day


    Your mind affection drew

    You're gonna listen now to me

    What's done, what's left as ----

    You're gonna listen now to me


    Come on along on an eastern show

    Come on along, oh my

    Come on along on a winter's morn

    Come on along, oh my (my)


    Inside, the drum and fife is steel

    To break this beast in me

    Cause I will bang this drum to my dying

    Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day

    Cause I will bang this drum

  29. R.... G....

    An improvement over the last few albums, that much is for sure.  But again, why do they continue to use so much high end in the music?  It all started with the Zwan era.  This will probably be the first SP album I actually buy (since ZG) but there just feels like something missing.  

    R.... G....

    Yea, Jimmy Chamberlin.

    R.... G....

    @Jeremy Jackson
    James Iha too. 

  30. T.... R....

    Love this one so far..

  31. D.... C....

    What sort of a thing is this

  32. H.... C....

    One more great song from Monuments to an Elegy. Thank you Billy! Cant wait the new album!

  33. M.... B....

    Good City, M.A.A.D. Kid

  34. o.... ....

    هسه مو حلو خخخخ

  35. J.... G....

    Inspiring, best song yet!  Away foul dreams!! Never be afraid!! <3

  36. 2.... ....

    It's interesting to my how everyone is an authority on music when commenting on anything Billy does. 
    The disparity between what Billy Corgan knows about creating music and authoritative opinions in youtube comments is staggering.
    What Billy has forgotten about creating amazing music, nobody here will ever attain.

    2.... ....

    Agreed.....to an extent. But, that's partly why it's so shocking to see how lifeless and derivative Corgan's current music has become. Because...he *_used to_* be the vanguard of exceptionally novel creative idiosyncratic music. But, you are right....even though Billy *_has_* lost that.....what he lost is something 99.99% of the people here will never even attain....

    2.... ....

    Call me crazy, but I think it has something to do with the band being entirely different(of course not counting Billy). Compared to when D'arcy, Jimmy, and James were in it. I think it's more of a reflection on what has happened since those 3 left. They seem to not be on good terms. At least Billy and D'arcy since Jimmy came back for a little bit a few years ago. I really hope they can set aside their differences one day and make one last damn-good album. I bet it would be pretty good

  37. r.... ....

    So far this album will blow Oceania out of the water. And is so far the best part of the ongoing Teargarden by Kaleidyscope project.

  38. T.... ....

    Not my favorite track but it is still a good one.

  39. B.... *....

    Great song! And cute little baby Billy:)

  40. E.... F....

    OK I've kept quiet on these but I feel I finally have to speak. I fell in love with the pumpkins when I was 15 (now 35). I fell in love with them because their live shows made the albums sound terrible. This band has always been a live act. For me the albums lay the foundation and then Billy brings the "blast" at the shows. This album so far is the most adult sounding music since Machina. I finally hear Billy tossing out the "popularity contest" he's been in since 2005 and actually laying down a great sounding record. That being said, I love Zeitgeist for its reintroduction hard rock style. I love Teargarden for its experimental style and I adore Oceania for its personal emotion. Monuments clearly takes those 3 styles and mixes them in a fresh and unique way. If you don't like it cause its not like your favorite album or because Billy doesn't SCREAM anymore then maybe you are stuck in the 90's and need to get back to reality. Reality being that billy is 27 anymore and he is a grown musical artist and not a dancing bear. To openly make negative comments about his music is not only immature, its pathetic. If you think you can do better in a genre that is almost dead and mostly underground nowadays then do it. I'd love to hear what you (the haters) can come up with other then bitching and complaining cause its not Mellon Collie or Siamese Dream. To WPC: sorry I blasted on here but someone needed to say it!

    E.... F....

    Totally agree Eric, I'm 34 and have been a fan since 1994. To me, these new songs sound like the best thing since Machina. I did not like Zeitgeist, TBK, or Oceania. Tommy Lee definitely brings a new style and energy. I think it sounds incredible!

    E.... F....

    I always thought they were a great band on album, but boring as hell live.  Billy is a diva on stage who does what he wants...even if that means 10 minutes of feedback.  They don't just do "go and pee" songs live....they do "go and take a long dump" songs live.

    E.... F....

    @Jamie Laszlo hmmm, that's strange. Every show I've been to has been quite fun and exciting. Its too bad you feel that way.. To each his own I guess

    E.... F....

    THIS. This fucking comment. You can not go on any SP song on here without comparing their old style with the new,In a negative matter. Zeitgeist is actually one of my favorite albums. ∩__∩

    E.... F....

    ah...your one of those guys

  41. a.... ....

    wack af. Not trying to be a hater, just not my thing anymore. 

  42. S.... �....

    I LOVE IT!

  43. F.... F....

    Don't understand the hate, this album is sounding fucking awesome

  44. o.... ....

    I think some people on here are being a little harsh. Billy during collie era was on a purple patch. Everything he touched turned to gold. That very very high standard could never last.

    I think zeitgeist rocked pretty hard and was decent. Oceania apart from odd song was average.

    Teargarden and this is on machina kinda level. And that's fine by me.

    o.... ....

    Machina level?? Eh.......no. Machina I & II, while not as magical as the first 3 albums, is actually quite creative and idiosyncratic and interesting to listen to.

  45. N.... R....

    Great song! Love the album so far

  46. G.... Y....

    I can't stop listening to this song. It's great. I'm officially pumped for this album.

  47. W.... L....

    This album might just overthrow oceania as my favourite SP album. shaping up really nicely so far

    W.... L....

    I just listen to each album individually, I don't compare them. Also I found that the older albums are a little scattered. Not that I don't love them, but I just find it so much easier to shove on zeitgeist or oceania and listen to them start to finish :P Also not to sound rude but why does it matter if I prefer a certain album over another?

    W.... L....

    Dude...have you even heard Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie?

    W.... L....

    I've listned to a lot of mellon collie and siamese dream is one of my favourite albums. I simply prefer the sound of oceania and zeitgeist. I don't hate the other albums or anything :P

    W.... L....

    @Ortum Lynx oh you´re so cool

    W.... L....

    Which one of us you talking to here :P

  48. S.... C....

    These new songs don't really do the trick for me anymore. Maybe I'm getting old, but when I try to rationalize why I don't feel the magic anymore with this new SP music (actually since Zeitgeist), I come to the following conclusions:

    * Sound-wise:
      - Mixing: way too trebly (and this song is a perfect example of it). I think this trebly mixing style started somewhere in the Zwan-era... One can also question why the vocals are so up-front if they are so weak (see below).
      - Mastering: compressed to a nauseating level (see http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Smashing%20Pumpkins for some actual proof of this, MTAE is compressed as bad as Zeitgeist: an album of which people have been complaining a lot about the sound). I notice every time that I keep dialing down the volume... until only silence is left.
    * Performance-wise: instruments are played with so little passion, but more importantly: there is close to no emotion anymore in the singing. Too much attention is payed to delivering a "perfect" performance. Perfect in the sense of using the right singing technique and being in tune. Emotion seems, however, to be overlooked in the process.
    * Songwriting-wise:
      - Musically: chord progressions, melodies, structures are not that adventurous, inventive and well developed anymore (there are exceptions, and every album since Zeitgeist still has some good songs, but then, of course, there is the boring performance and horrible sound to ruin everything).
      - Lyrically: I am not a native English speaker and don't really pay attention to lyrics, but I have the impression the lyrics are rather lightweight (maybe because of the lifeless vocal performance).
    * Emotion-wise (in sound/performance/songwriting): there is little to no (sincere/believable) emotion left. It seems like he doesn't care about what he is singing or about the music he is playing. Maybe there is a hint of happiness/peace/contentment in these songs... Good for Billy, but rather boring to listen to. There is more to life than happiness, you know. And OK, if you'd really like to sing about happiness: fine, but sing and play it like you mean it. There are plenty of songs about happiness that work (obvious example: Happy from Pharrell Williams), but it is because they sound sincere, they have heart/soul/guts/passion.

    This is just my analysis of course. Everyone is entitled to his own opinions.

    S.... C....

    @avedic Yes, creativity seems indeed to go down with age and I also don't care at all about nostalgia. The sad thing with SP is that the albums he has been releasing these last couple of years could have been much better, given some passion and better sound production. They would not be on the level of MCIS or Siamese Dream, but I would be able to forgive him. I would be happy with new SP music. Now, it is just extremely frustrating and disappointing (especially in combination with all his arrogant/delusional/crazy public statements and interviews). Instead of going from genius to really good it went from genius to mediocre, or should I say bad and embarrassing. The only song on MTAE that I can appreciate (in moments I am able to ignore the horrible sound) is Dorian: good song + real emotion.

    S.... C....

    He has completely lost it: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/dec/18/billy-corgan-smashing-pumpkins-interview

    S.... C....

    well I just came here after listening to gish, pisces iscariot and SD, and I like it.

    S.... C....

    I dont agree. This is the first album since Mellancollie that has spirit again. Its not about mixing or stuff like that. But something in his voice is back, something in his music back. Oceania was terrible but ths album is awesome, more poppy and hooky but I think thats fine as a progression. His voice sounds good again as well, he means it again, its real. 

    S.... C....

    Interesting note on the mixing. My headphones have a bit of a disappointing response, so I tend to use a pretty aggressive EQ setting. After changing some levels around, I think it sounds pretty great.

  49. N.... ....

    Its different, but personally, I love it!

  50. a.... ....

    And to the people saying it should be "darker" or "edgier"; SP have done enough moping, don't you think? These two albums may well be their swansong, why not go out on a gentler note? 

  51. a.... ....

    The production on these songs really doesn't do them justice. Can't you imagine them being so much better if Billy's voice was mixed better and if it was more balanced and grungy? It's like the producer has never heard rock music before.

  52. a.... ....

    Best so far.

  53. g.... v....

    This melody in the chorus is tremendous 

  54. A.... ....

    Probably my favorite so far. Wasn't sure what I was going to think at first. I will have to listen to it a few more times. All of them have been good, but this has left the best first impression. 

  55. G.... Y....

    I really really like this song

  56. R.... ....

    Probably my favorite song of the new 4. I'm so excited for this album

  57. R.... L....

    I like it. But One and All continues to be the best new song of theirs Ive listened to. I kinda wish he would "rock" more these days.

  58. D.... G....

    Not the best shit, but understand directional change. 5 of 10

  59. T.... ....

    This is soooooooooo good :D

  60. K.... P....

    Roll on 5th Dec @ the Koko

  61. N.... ....

    Btw Vengeance is yours Billy!

  62. z.... ....

    exelente rola!!!

  63. s.... ....

    I like it, but  I feel like he should make a new band, put SP to rest, it sounds nothing like it anymore

  64. C.... L....

    meh...One and All is so much better than this.

    +1 this song is really really good. Being beige is not good enought. Tiberus good but too much between Z and TBK, One and all not bad, not really good but i like it. Drum + Fife sound like old pumpkins but it's new and new is so good. Ty Billy, I hope the rest of the EP will sound like that

    what's with the horrible production? the guitar sound is so annoying and trebly harsh.

    y.... ....

    sounds just like a guitar to me.

  66. J.... C....

    I think this is my favorite of the 4.  Each song has been better then the previous song, and I love all 4!

  67. M.... K....

    Good song though

  68. M.... K....

    Billy can bang a drum but he can't bang out one solo in this whole album.

  69. j.... h....

    Excellent. This album sounds interesting...

  70. A.... S....

    wow keep on rocking!

  71. C.... B....

    The production on this song is just horrid. 

    C.... B....

    exactly. pumpkins used to have superb production and amazing attention to detail . this is like made to be horrible on purpose.

    C.... B....

    some would argue less "production" is a good thing

    C.... B....

    @msj56 Hey I'm no "sound wizard," but this track just simply doesn't appeal to my ears. Billy's voice is so high up on the song that it dwarfs every other track. Billy's singing style is now so different, like there is no room for error. I think he's tried to make his voice more palatable...Also the synths are just so tawdry. This is just pop. Remember when Billy used to write lyrics that were profound? Well, they meant so much to me. Such as "ask yourself a question anyone but me, are you free?" Or "suffer my desire for you," or "I sensed my lows, before I even learned to talk, and I remember my birthdays, empty party afternoons wont come back." Now how is  "and I will bang this drum to my dyin days" supposed to resonate with anyone?? it's pop...

    C.... B....

    Gish had virtually no production and people thought it was loaded with it according to Billy in the documentary they did a while back. I'm wondering if this isn't strip down like Gish, not as much, but less than recent efforts. I'm digging this tune over the others.

  72. P.... T....

    I'm digging this a lot!  There is rhythm, motion, and life in the build up of this.

  73. A.... A....

    This song is cool....but TIBERIUS IS AMAZING...NUMBER ONE OF THIS NEW ÁLBUM

  74. C.... H....

    He seems to be going into a very interesting direction. I won't judge completely until I hear the full album

  75. F.... R....

    The best song so far! Really interesting direction!

  76. G.... V....

    One of the less songs that makes fun, without being silly. Good work again Billy!

  77. D.... S....

    way better than I could ever have expected

  78. m.... ....

    Good stuff. I like it.

  79. N.... ....

    Very nice and fun groove billy!!

  80. C.... K....

    So far I say 1- One and All 2- Tiberius (gets really good after a few listens) 3- Drum & Fife (I think this wouldnt have sounded this way with Jimmy around) 4- Being Beige

  81. L.... D....

    Where the fuck is Billy's dark side? That side created his best songs but stopped in 90's. Even his voice is different since Adore, looking for happiness all the time, this is so boring. Why God? Why Billy?

    L.... D....

    he took singing lessons in LA for the first time for Adore

    L.... D....

    This is not a question about to grow up, this is art dammit not a personal life. In this sense and in this case "grow up" means lost of creativity in fact. Many bands knew keep their essence and even their angry during decades. Also looking for happiness as a human being is fair and different as artist. Art express the human feelings and is impossible that Billy or anyone get 100% happy and because of this he can't create dark songs anymore. And it's not only about dark or angst in music. In fact the magic of pumpkins is lost but I hope that returns someday.

    L.... D....

    He grew up, as people often do.

    L.... D....

    @Chaim Lebeowitzrosenshoahshekelberg Grow up = lost of creativity, energy and essence? For many people it really happens but not always and for everybody!

    L.... D....

    @Leandro Dundes I disagree completely. The 2008 Residency stuff is by far his best work, (yes, better than my beloved MCIS and Adore), was his most creative and raw emotionally. The emotion of the early works was angst and wistfulness - the Residency captured an existential crisis, a complete mental breakdown from the pressure: much more complex and engaging in my opinion. The songs were unique and incomparable to anything from their past or future. Look up The Leaving Lament and still tell me that there is a loss of creativity and essence. As for energy, Billy has always been more "measured" with how he controls his voice since Zwan, I don't dwell on it too much. 

    I like these new songs very very much. I would say they are heading up toward a peak again, the quality just keeps getting better these days.

  82. F.... S....

    Good but i still prefer ONE AND ALL!

    F.... S....

    Me too but Infinitely better than Being Beige.

  83. G.... L....
